[iOS] Playlists appears empty

[Maria]

We're seeing reports that some users are unable to see songs in playlists - both on their own playlists and in Spotify-curated playlists.

This seems to be affecting iOS mobile devices only.

I would like to say THANK YOU to this community and particularly to the person who discovered how to get our playlists back on our phones. You are my absolute hero. Seriously. My sanity has been regained 🙏🏻

[lesleyas]

Thank you so much!! You deserve at least a years worth of free Spotify Premium! What a random fix. You are the true MVP!

Thanks anton

I've let chat GPT know so future spotifiers who have the problem have the solution.

Why This Likely Works:

“Truprint” is a custom language profile, possibly added by a jailbreak, a third-party app, or a beta testing config. Spotify (or iOS itself) may misinterpret or mishandle this non-standard language setting, leading to:

• Blocked content authorization (music but not podcasts)

• Server-side confusion over localization

• Token mismatch or invalid region settings

On my phone there was a language called "Workshopx" under my language settings, not the one suggested in the comments. So it will likely vary by user, but either way that is the fix. How a random language got added, who knows. Why Spotify completely breaks over it, who knows.

For iOS:
Settings -> General -> Language & Region

Under preferred Languages make sure it doesn't have a random name in addition to your preferred language.

It’s a miracle, amazing, thank you to everyone for getting my playlists back

Amazing! Thank you so much to the genius who found this

While this Language fix did get the app to work, I cannot get local files to download back onto my device. Is anybody having similar issues after applying this fix??

Removing the second language worked for me. Weird switch.

Go to settings then Language & region and delete the extra language there (or in my case it was an extra English language with a word after it in brackets. Strange but it works
